BTR_Vince Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I know I've been asking a lot about the Onza bikes but I just want to be sure I'm getting the right bike.What is the difference between an Onza T-Pro and a normal Pro?Is it worth the extra bucks to get the Blade instead of the Pro?If I want to ride street, is it better to have a longer frame? Are the Onza Pro and Blade suited for street?For a beginner, are the standard Pro or Blade good to ride or are there things that should be upgraded straight away? (eg. tires, stems)The reason I'm making so sure is that I have to ship it from UK to South Africa, and here there are no Trial shops, so if there is something extra that I need for the bike I must ship it with the bike, so I don't pay double shipping.Thanks in advance for the help.

Al_Fel Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I think if you could increase your budget a little bit more then you should go for this you could always down grade a few parts to get it a bit cheaper. There are lots of options open to you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I know I've been asking a lot about the Onza bikes but I just want to be sure I'm getting the right bike.What is the difference between an Onza T-Pro and a normal Pro?Tpro is the older model. Pro is this years modelIs it worth the extra bucks to get the Blade instead of the Pro?Possibly, depending your ability. But both are really goodIf I want to ride street, is it better to have a longer frame? Are the Onza Pro and Blade suited for street?Sometimes, but it depends on riding style and once again ability.For a beginner, are the standard Pro or Blade good to ride or are there things that should be upgraded straight away? (eg. tires, stems)You can cope with the standard bars and stem but consider changing these as itll make a mass improvementThe reason I'm making so sure is that I have to ship it from UK to South Africa, and here there are no Trial shops, so if there is something extra that I need for the bike I must ship it with the bike, so I don't pay double shipping.Thanks in advance for the help.

ogre Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 you might wanna stock up on brake pads, chain and tyres now then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
::CH!P:: Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 you might wanna stock up on brake pads, chain and tyres now then?That's a good idea. Also, when it comes to changing parts, it's largely down to personal preference. I've just bought a mod and it has flat bars, whilst they will do me for now i will eventually change as im more of a fan of Monty risers. But other's may not agree with that.

Muel Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Grips too! They wear out faster than tyres or pads I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTR_Vince Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Thanks for the replies.So grips, brake pads, chain, tires, bars and stems. Wow, I was expecting more like... just some different tires or something!Are these all really necessary? Could I get away with just the standard bike for like about a year? Until I move to Europe?I'm pretty sure I can get some good grips here, and I've recently replaced the chain on my current stock bike to a KMC one so I could use that one. Which leaves brake pads, tires, bars and stems. Can TartyBikes.co.uk change the parts on the bike for me? Can you guys recommend some good parts, as I have no clue where to start. And remember I'm a beginner and it's just for about one year, so I don't need the best of the best, just to make it easier to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
